Img_3280 No, I did not fall off the face of the earth… it just kind of felt like it this week…busy, busy, busy! I’ve had lots of inquiries about more recipes so I’ve posted 2 new ones for you! One is for a most delicious (and my all time fav) caramel popcorn drizzled with chocolate and the other is a wonderfully scrumptious Butternut Squash Soup. Hope those keep you busy! Ha! 

These adorable little fabrics are a little sampling of what I have been up to lately (no there aren’t any quilts in my future) I mentioned a few months ago that I wanted to open up a little Etsy shop on my blog (well not ON my blog- but you could get to my little shop via a link on my blog). I am working on getting a few things ready and am hoping to have the shop open for business in the next 1-2 weeks. I  have my cute sister coming into town and of course, Halloween (Henry’s costume still needs to be made) So I am crossing my fingers for 2 weeks- so please check back- you may just find something that tickles your fancy! In fact, I am sure you will!

I took Henry to the Zimmer museum  on Friday along with his cute friends Elisa & Leah (Mom’s were also in tow) and he had such a ball. He sat at this mini-kitchen table for what seemed like 45-minutes. Pouring imaginary glasses of water, stacking plates & cups, moving food on & off his plate, playing with the utensils… there was a little store in the next room with plastic banana’s, peppers, loaves of bread… he had so much fun! I’ve been debating on getting Henry this kitchen for Christmas (he had a wonderful time  at Oliva’s house playing in her little kitchen) and now, we’ll I think he might just need to have a kitchen of his own. I love this one because it’s blue and red and most of the ones I’ve seen are pink- which is great if you are a girl, which Henry is not. Not that I have anything against men & pink (Real mean wear pink, right? That’s what I always tell Chris. He’s not buying it). Anyway, I’ve started saving little metal spice jars that are empty and other fun things he can use in his new kitchen- I think he’ll really love it. I’m not 100% yet on buying it- but it’s getting pretty close.

We had Mick & Emily down on Thursday night for their very FIRST Pumpkin carving! Can you believe that the Aussies don’t celebrate Halloween?? I don’t think I could ever be an Aussie…. we’ll they do have the whole tim-tam’s thing going for them… but no Halloween? Here’s a pic of Emily carving her first pumpkin. We were so glad that we got to share in this momentus occasion. Happy First Halloween Falconbridges!! (Yes, Emily brought us those gorgeous burnt-orange Sunflowers AND yummy Apple Crisp. Thank you EMILY!)

    do the kitchen – he’d love it! we have one and all my kids have used it – when we were in an apt. i put it right by the kitchen – so when i cooked, my daughter could cook, too.

    Henry sitting at that little table like a grown-up is priceless! 🙂 I definitely think you should invest in the kitchen – I love them! I had a “from scratch” kitchen set when I was little and I fell in love with it. I still love seeing all the mini cooking sets in the toy stores! Mini wooden toast, filled oj glasses, tiny mixers, little aprons… what’s not to love?!
    I LOVE this one!!!

    I just realized I said “LOVE” one too many times in that comment. Sorry about my over-joyous enthusiasm. Just take that as a sign that I’m a strong advocate of the mini kitchen! 🙂

    Hi-
    i stumbled on your blog because of emily falconbridge’s blog.
    and i have a question for you, not about recipes or sewing, but…the banner you have across the top of your blog. i LOVE your papers and designs. what are they? vintage from antique stores?, scrapbook papers? please tell me.
    read through your archives and see that you like that style and use it in other things, too. nice.
    thanks, nancy

    Halloween just isn’t the same without the Moores. Morgan, your love for Halloween is contagious! I use to not really like Halloween, but after a couple of your Halloween parties, your good Halloweeny food, and decorations, you have me liking it more! Emily and Mick are lucky to have you as neighbors for their first Halloween. They will get the true Halloween experience! What’s Henry going to be for Halloween? I can’t wait to see pictures!
    As for the kitchen, I bet Henry would love it, so go for it! Everyone I talk to says that their kids play with their play kitchens for hours at a time and for many years too! So it isn’t one of those toys that Henry will play with a couple of times and then toss it aside. Plus it is darling. I saw it at Target a few weeks ago and was admiring it.
    We miss you lots and hope to see you around Christmas!
